Error without Throwable crashes #33

Closed jbedard closed 8 years ago

jbedard commented 8 years ago

Is this valid?

I want to send all log messages of level ERROR to raygun but not all have exceptions. Currently RaygunClient.Send requires a Throwable and if it is null it crashes...

My apologies for the delay in the response to this ticket. Just an update on this one, Raygun Crash Reporting currently requires an Exception-type object (e.g inheriting from Throwable in Java) as the backend requires a stack trace to perform the auto-grouping and to get the best value out of the interface and product (which is highly tuned for surfacing and exploring exceptions). A system to handle generic logging is currently out of scope for Crash Reporting so log messages aren't really supported as a first-class citizen by Raygun.

We may look into a system which has support for this in the future, but we currently don't have any plans around this today.
